In this class we will explore practicing with the 16 bodhisattva precepts as an expression of our true nature rather than as rules to follow. We will study how they come to life in our lives and interactions with family, friends and everyone we meet. Through reading, discussion and journaling, we will look at the precepts as guides to help us live peacefully and harmoniously, with awareness of our deep connection with everyone and everything.

All are welcome, and this class is particularly recommended for those who are preparing for lay ordination.
